Trying to get my driver side leaf off still cant get the forward bolt out of the bushing or sleeve i just spins tried putting something behind the bolt head and prying and spinning it wont work. Anyone have tips on how to get the bolt out heres a pic of the one im talking about.]
.If you don't have an air chisel I've had luck before cutting as much of the rubber bushing out as possible and finding the split in the sleeve, then using a screwdriver to open it up enough to get the bolt to slide out

Air chisel from the back of the bolt head works awesome. Prying it outwards while turning it with an impact wrench works too, but is slightly more exciting .

sorry...didn't realize you already had a blown motor.
but still from a $$ standpoint, personally, i wouldn't do it. technically speaking i have no idea what that entails but you might be opening a pretty big can of worms.
to each their own though.

if you have an air chisel go straight to that. 2 minutes > 20 minutes of hammering
